Personal Relationships

²¹ “^(A)You have heard that ^[a]the ancients were told, ‘^(B)You shall not murder’ and ‘Whoever murders shall be guilty before ^(C)the court.’ ²² But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before ^(D)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘^[b]Raca,’ shall be guilty before the ^[c](E)Sanhedrin; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the ^[d](F)fiery hell. ²³ Therefore if you are ^(G)presenting your ^[e]offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, ²⁴ leave your ^[f]offering there before the altar and go; first be ^(H)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your ^[g]offering.
